Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension was a science fiction television show created by tween television writer Tom Lynch, produced by CinéGroupe, aired by Fox Kids (the last show to premiere on that programming block before it was replaced by the Fox Box) and later ABC Family in 2002, as well as YTV, and merchandised with its own LEGO action figure line in exchange for Lego partially funding the series.The show follows Nick Bluetooth, who awakens on his birthday to find a floating tablet that, with the help of his best friend Allegra Zane, leads to an egg-shaped transport that sends them into the Outer Dimension, a series of alternate universes where the evil Gorm seeks to take over. Nick learns he's the one destined to free the realms from Gorm's tyranny, and he has a special power called Glinching. Glinching allows Outer Dimension residents to swap body parts with each other, but Nick can Glinch without having a swapping partner.Allying with a neurotic genius cyborg, a sage frog-man, and a temperamental short yeti, the teens travel in the "Egg" spacecraft to find the MacGuffin of key fragments that will lead them to the lost city of Galidor, which will provide them the means to save the Outer Dimension, and maybe even solve the mystery of Nick's Disappeared Dad, who it seems had a history with this strange alternate dimension.The series had a short, two-season run of 26 episodes, dying just seven months after its debut, due in part to the death of the Fox Kids block itself, and in part to its Lego toy line being a huge critical and commercial flop (because its pieces were action-figure–like pieces that couldn't be used with other Lego brands). The series quickly faded into obscurity afterwards, and it has received no official release on DVD or Blu-Ray.Three video games were also made as tie-ins for the series: a Flash game for the Fox Kids website, and games for the Game Boy Advance and PC. A comic book tie-in was also released.No relation to Galador, homeworld of ROM: Spaceknight. | |

Aliens Speaking English: Not really explained or touched on. Possibly handwaved, depending on how much influence The Stranger had on the Outer Dimension. It's remotely possible that English caught on because he introduced it. | |

Physical Attribute Swap | |
| Galidor / int_6258e5f3 | comment |
Physical Attribute Swap: One of the central aspects the show is that the inhabitants of the Outer Dimension have an ability called Glinching that allows them to swap body parts with another person. For example, at one point Euripides is Strapped to an Operating Table on Earth, so he briefly Glinches with the much shorter Nepol's body below the neck in order to hop out of his restraints. Various character also swap arms at different points. Part of what makes Nick Bluetooth special as The Chosen One is that he doesn't need to swap with other characters to copy their body parts. | |

Merchandise-Driven: The show is mostly remembered for the infamous series of LEGO figures made to promote it, and was helped by McDonald's Happy Meal toys and video game tie-ins for the PC, Game Boy Advance and a flash game on the Fox Kids website. Certainly could give the impression that the show was running on toy promotion, and considering the factor of the toy line's disastrous reception, might not be inconceivable. | |
